Scores

(14.5% alcohol): Bright, saturated dark red. Aromas of cassis, graphite, licorice and menthol are lifted by some peppery herbal high notes. At once fine-grained and juicy, offering flavors similar to the aromas. Nicely sweet wine but with the acidity and restraint--not to mention the flavor depth--to reward aging. Finishes firmly tannic, even a bit tight, with a spicy element.
91 Points, Stephen Tanzer

This is defined by a ripe but very fresh core of red currant, plum and raspberry coulis flavors supported by polished structure and backed by a light savory echo for nuance on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc.
89 Points, Wine Spectator

Tasting Notes

Rich aromas of cassis and spice with intense liquorice and blackberry flavours on the palate and fine, lingering tannins.

ProducerDelaire Graff

In 2003 Laurence Graff OBE acquired the Avantuur estate in Stellenbosch, he set to create one of the leading South African wine estates. From the high-altitude terraces, located on the steep slopes of Botmaskop Mountain and frequently cooled by Atlantic breezes, the estate can count on impeccable grapes that carry the intensity of fruit that is the hallmark of Delaire Graff wines. Under Graff’s ownership and the skilled Morné Vrey, Delaire Graff wines have regularly won international and national awards and the estate has become established as one of the best in South Africa.

Tasting Notes

The grapes for this elegant rosé were handpicked in the early hours of the morning from selected vineyards on the Helshoogte and Helderberg Mountain. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc juice, this unique Rosé displays flavours of ripe strawberries, cassis and candyfloss with a juicy, crisp and dry finish.
